The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1887-10-22
BURpETTE.

Last week, at about the same hour
and on the same day, an editor and
horss diod. In the papers OF his own
state the editor was dismissed with nine
or ten lines. A minimum space Of half
column was devoted to the horse; the
editors told bis age. the name Of his
mother, grandmother and grandfather;
told what they did; what the horse him
self did; told what he was worth; how
he came to be worth so much, and one
man spoke Of him as the ''deceased;"
and all the writer's agreed that in the
death Of this horse the country had suf-
fered great loss. Thiu Is fame, my
boz; il You are At all ambitious you viii
some day be mighty sorry that you
weren't born ''hoss" instead Of an
editor. Still, il you 20 with the right
kind Of people, you may yet grow TO be
an "ass." That won't help much,
though.
LACKS THE QUALIFICATIONS.
One young gentleman in this ye,r's
crop Of Cornell graduates announces that
he ~ an Anarchist. Not in full stand.
ing. he isn't. He may have selected that
profession, but he can't qualify. 1t will
take years, patient waiting years; of
razorleas soaples sness before he can &C.
emulate the necessary amount Of hair
and dirt to be full grown Anarchist.
II he has been at Cornell fonr years he
ought u know that hair and dirt arc the
two essentials Of Anarch,sm; all other
things are elective.
JUST THAT KIND or A PLACE.

McSorley, that . Columbarium has
been established ut Philadslphia. What's

Sorley, whois conaidsred authority on

but this seems to be q kind Of placs 3
where they make ashes Of dead people. p"
said Mrs. McSorley, "instead d burying
them" THAT. just exactly it," said
Mcsorley, "a 100 pound oolumbiad gun
makes ashes Of all the people that gets
10 its way; and they can't find enough OF
EN- TO bury 'em. That's what it is; a
Colambariam."
He DOESN'T EXACTLY CATCH ON.
Something or other. we can't ray just
what. but something 10 the little editorial
note, makes me think that new man
has taken hold Of the Nevada Watchman.
"The delay in the appearance Of the
Watchman this week 10 due to the fact
that our wife and myself took a little
trip to the county seat. where we were
detained by heavy rains flooding the
streams and carrying away bridges. The
bridge At Hunters Forks was gone, 80,
leaving our better half at Neighbor Pad.

get out this weeks edition only two
daya late." He has the tune pretty well,
but he gets the words little mixed.
THE UNrAILrNe SION.
All, ha! what do We hear! From every
city, town and hamlet Except Henry
Irving'sI comes the rallying cry; "Tht
people, not the politicians!" All, yes
this is the sign that the politicians have
about completed their slates, and are
getting ready to pack the conventions
and adopt things "spontsueously."
EVEN JUSTICE.
People rejoice in the conviction oi
